The difference
Pawn or sell gold
Whether you pawn or sell gold depends mainly on whether you want to part with it for good. When you pawn it, you use the value of your gold and can get the item back once you have repaid the loan. When you sell it, you give it up for good.
| Criterion | Pawn gold | Sell gold |
|---|---|---|
| Getting your gold back | Once you have repaid the loan, you get your valuable item back. | When you sell, you give up your valuable item for good. |
| cash on the spot | After the valuation and conclusion of the pawn agreement, you receive cash. | You receive the agreed amount for the sale. |
| Surplus proceeds from an auction | If your gold is auctioned and achieves surplus proceeds, you receive a share of them. | When you sell, you receive the agreed sale price. Any later surplus stays with the buyer. |
| Decision | Pawning is the right choice if you want to use the value of your gold without giving it up for good. | Selling is an option if you want to part with your gold for good. |
What we look at
These features matter for the valuation of your gold
The valuation is not based on weight alone. Depending on the gold item, various features can play a role. That is why each piece is examined individually.
-
Gold content
The gold content shows the proportion of pure gold.
-
Weight
Weight is an important basis for valuing the gold it contains.
-
Gold price
The current gold price affects the material value.
-
Condition
Depending on the item, its condition can also be important for the valuation.
-
Brand
For branded jewellery, the brand can also increase the value. This requires that we can clearly identify the brand or that proof of purchase is available.
-
Workmanship
For jewellery, design and workmanship can play a role beyond the pure gold value.
-
Gemstones
Set gemstones can also be taken into account in the valuation.
Since 1932
Experience with valuable items
Grüne’s Leihhäuser has been valuing valuable items since 1932. Depending on the item, different features are important. This ensures the right expertise goes into the valuation.
